Scents and Tastes

I went shoe shopping yesterday. I had become increasingly concerned about how big my feet looked in my running shoes. I mean, really...they were at least an inch bigger than my little casual canvas sneakers. Why, I have no idea. But as someone whose feet grew half a size with each kiddo, I kid you not, I admit to having some minor concerns about it. (Let me say right here that my kiddos were absolutely, positively worth the elongation of my tootsies.)

Well, I discovered that if you go to the walking shoes section rather than the running shoes section the shoes are dramatically smaller. And, hey, I'm no runner, I AM a walker.

Oh, and side note, there are a remarkable number of shoe shoppers that talk to themselves while they're trying on shoes. I thought that was really nifty.


I continued working on features of whimsical faces for the class I'm taking. Tonight I worked on mouths and noses.

The Smell and the Taste of Things

I'm taking a wonderful online class and this was the next thing to work on...a nose and a mouth. I have this silly little inner voice that wants to pick it apart and be critical, but my awesome inner voice says, "Hey, you can actually tell it's a nose and a mouth!"

Yeah, I'm gonna listen to my awesome inner voice.

I'm super excited to learn more about drawing and painting faces!
